no one in his achy party have ever had to face losing power in istanbul voters yesterday they said a strong message no more politics from the past change is now in charge will that apply to the president to tonight the city where president ever once political career began is looking more like the end of the why berlin this is the day. we will bring morals to politics. we had a time to write attempts to intimidate all teams sometimes my people who have representatives in individual cases i'm ready to work with the president to do one and i aspire to do that i'm announcing this in front of all residents of east envoy . to see my personal view is that it wasn't right to repeat this election but the

fact that it was won by such a margin is better the 1st time goals to us are you. i cast my vote in freiburg the ruling party but unfortunately it didn't win the other packages it began as well that. turkey needs fresh blood new rhetoric and a new face i think this result is a reflection of that. also coming up tonight donald trump's back and forth on iran just days after he pulled back from a military strike the u.s. president is pushing ahead with what he calls the next economic attack i think a lot of restraint has been shown by us a lot of restraint and that doesn't mean we're going to show it in the future thank you very much everybody. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day. stamboul

a city tonight that has chosen political change and a future that will most likely mean the powers that be will soon become the powers that were yesterday voters in turkey's largest and most politically and economically important city went to the polls and built an unprecedented blow to president a party yank a party and its islam is party predecessors have governed it stamboul for a quarter of a century it is where president heir to one 1st rose to power as mere heir to what but after yesterday's municipal election is stamboul may now be where the people defy and deny through democracy the almost unchecked power of the political party. the end disputed viktor of istanbul's marilyn lection is this man. he extended his majority in sunday's controversial rerun of a ballot he already narrowly won in march the new math cool to devote the change.

that this is not a victory this is a new beginning you know what i want to say from here that as of tomorrow i will treat 16000000 people equally as i'm a. done deal. president wretched type out of one's a k party and cool the 1st result a regular on the electoral board agreed this time around. him conceded defeat. according to the results as of now my competitor. is leading the race i congratulate him and wish him good luck. her. tens of thousands turned out to celebrate. to be done with you i'm so excited about it the right person has won justice has won love and unity won the people in istanbul have

won everything it's great now we will work for a bright future together shoulder to shoulder but really i am so happy. that i'm actually just to get the moment that you did or didn't want to get that it's enough the people have spoken and their will has become clear justice has been served about it in the world. but the a.k. party faithful was shocked and disappointed. has a mind you know it has and i think people do not see the good things tie of ed or what has done we are all sad a relative's came here from other cities just for today and now we have so sad disappointed you know. the end of the i can't pay for the services ma'am. the result is a further blow to president out of one who's been accused of tearing at some and is struggling to revive a flagging economy he also lost municipal elections in ankara and is mia in march but istanbul is the jewel in his crown out of one's home town and where his career

started as man now the city and its new leader going their own way. for gore tonight i'm joined by on he is the spokesperson for turkish president. a party our own it's good to have you back on the program you know when you and i last spoke of those early it was early may when the decision had been made to rerun the election in istanbul and you told me then that running the elections would make democracy in turkey stronger did it. because of all that missed by congratulating him so the mole on the winning read folks can pay mail campaign and also let me just take action to thank millions of our party voters and tens of thousands of volunteers who've been lurking so hard in

last few weeks and coming to your question yes because we had a really robust process and there were many more appointed people on ballot boxes and process was clear and open to everyone and that was that was was we. would we wanted of course that the result what is coming out from all the positive we will respect because this is democracy and the nature of politics you sometimes lose and sometimes they let me have all these are full respect on what people to say. the election it was rerun because your party dak party claimed that there were signs of vote rigging and this is what president the one said about that west months take a look says you know to just numbers it became clear that certain people with dirty hands had become involved starting before the elections and they brought the situation to this point step by step. we sincerely believe that there was organized

corruption full illegality and irregularity in the estimable may or election. news. does the president does the still believe that there was organized corruption in the 1st istanbul election. 1st of all we believe that in the person lection there were irregularities and this is why we made our application for a recall and especially when the difference between 2 candidates for 0.15 percent but unfortunately an opposite position party and electoral vote rejected a record score to go over for a rerun and because of the regularity of the election board made a decision to go to a rerun we want to the recount but the election board made a decision to go to a rerun this was not something we were rich but the decision was made by election board we just wanted to have this process clear and robust because elections are

very important for turkish democracy and there were many accusations on our elections about the afraid this and about their pennis and i think this has been a good answer as was this was what we had been saying for a long time but i think now it has been a good answer for those who are accusing our democracy. you mentioned when we last spoke that there was an investigation into the irregularities are these corruption claims what became of that investigation i mean were you able to uncover if you had the dirty hands the president everyone was talking about the electoral board it's still counting on the investigation and we are also waiting the result of restitution. and what does the vote say about for the people think about president or one was this

a vote against president or the one. no absolutely not this was a local election and it was an election especially this one was an election in istanbul people in local elections generally wards for the candidate and more services offered and also for the party therefore try to interpret these results like in like a referendum on president will be completely wrong indeed president out on last year presidency by a margin of $11000000.00 votes. there have been some commentators today who have said that a president or one should resign because his party has lost stamboul should the president resign or what's he going to do next i think people really have. have no basic information about turkish politics can draw some

conclusions these are bizarre conclusions in this local elections in turkey a party has worn more money its abilities than all the rest of the parties gone by and the popular vote on our party was 53 percent across. all right unfortunately we're out of time or we appreciate you taking the time tonight to give us the perspective from the a k 40 in stamboul room the spokesperson for the a k party istanbul's good to see you here and thank you. well still to come on the day the anti russia sentiment gripping georgia could last weeks angry clashes force a break with the country's former soviet masters we'll talk about reform and russian influence later in the show.

with the u.s. president trump announced new sanctions against iran at this time the hard hitting sanctions as he calls them are aimed at the country's most senior military political and diplomatic leaders trump told reporters that the new sanctions are meant in part to retaliate after the downing of a u.s. drone last week however the president also said that the same sins had been planned and were going to happen anyway. in a few moments i'll be signing an executive order imposing hard hitting sanctions on the supreme leader of iran and the office of the supreme leader of iran and many others today's action follows a series of aggressive behaviors by the iranian regime in recent weeks including shooting down of u.s. roads and the drone it's i guess everyone saw that one so america is a peace loving nation with that seek conflict with a red or any other country i look forward to the day when sanctions can be finally lifted and iran can become

a peaceful prosperous and productive nation that can go very quickly it can be tomorrow it could also be in years from now so i look forward to. discussion whatever i have to discuss with anybody that wants to speak in the meantime who knows what's going busy to happen i can only tell you we can not ever let it iran have a nuclear weapon and i want to happen oh president terms announcement prompted a response from iran and the foreign ministers of a reef who is also targeted by these new sanctions tweeted this he'd tweeted trump is 100 percent right that the u.s. military has no business in the persian gulf removal of its forces is fully in line with interests of view of the us and the world but it's now clear that the b. team is not concerned with u.s. interests they despise diplomacy and thirst for war strong words there are let's take this story now to washington to our correspondent all over

sell a good evening to you talk to me a little bit about what concrete measures are we talking about when we talk about these new sanctions. right so someone who might feel these new sanctions sanctions and who's really targeted and in the spotlight is the supreme leader of iran ayatollah khamenei and he has been singled out for the conduct 1 of iran in addition to him some aid senor individuals all of the revolutionary guards that are considered a terrorist group by the united states and that can also be held accountable for the downed drone last 3 week that was shot down over the strait of hormuz that said the u.s. president says that these sanctions do not come as an act of retaliation that they were have been in the making for a quite some time the ultimate goal here obviously is to cut down funding of these

individuals and to hit economy as a whole and also to stop iran from acting ability and lead this is these were the words of the u.s. president today iran in turn has already responded there is a there was a security council meeting at the united nations today in the iranian ambassador said that as long as the sanctions are in place they refuse to negotiate to gether with the united states do we knew. did the u.s. consult with any of it particularly here in europe about these new sanctions. well a speaker of the house nancy pelosi called on trump and on the u.s. administration to not act unilaterally at a briefing at the white house situation room together with other congressional leaders last week. secretary of the treasury minutiae said he did not. talk to any office allies with regards to these sanctions in particular and that's what

we've been getting from the trauma administration typically in recent times that they are rather acting unilaterally and it would have also been difficult to find common ground especially with the european partners on this matter as we know the u.s. secretary of state. he was in the persian gulf today use trying to drum up what he's calling a global coalition against the islamic republic of iran his 1st stop was sold to arabia where he was welcomed by. the crown prince tell you later went on to talk in the united arab emirates with plans to travel into europe and asia. you know washington said today that it wants to put together that coalition to protect the shipping lanes in the persian gulf the goal of oman who is going to join this coalition. that's why 5

mike from pay of the secretary of state is trying to find out right now and he's been traveling today to saudi arabia which is a natural and in the 3 iran they're fighting a proxy war together against each other in yemen he then moved on to the united arab emirates so he'll certainly find support there but it will be certainly difficulty include and that's what he wants asian countries and european countries in particular today at the united nations security council. besar of germany france and great britain held a joint statement together and they are trying to reiterate here their support for the nuclear deal they want to save the nuclear deal because they essentially believe that this is the only way to control iran say activities with regards to nuclear energy and potentially a nuclear bomb so it will be difficult and a big challenge for the secretary of state here to form

a coalition including all of these mentioned countries and in the different regions coalitions multilateralism these are all things that we know double troll does not really think much of and we've got the g 20 summit beginning later this week i wonder with these new sanctions and with this policy on iran has again succeeded in isolating america from its traditional. well it depends who are looking at 1 with regards to the european partners definitely they're on very different positions there have contradicting views with regards to iran with regards to the nuclear deal which of course is the the core at the heart of these conflicts but then again he will also make new friends with with countries like saudi arabia which is also a g 20 member which of course is then more open for sanctions against

iran but that should be very interesting to watch trump has tweeted today also calling on his partners to pay money for the protection of the strait of hormuz which is one of the most important the waterways for oil tankers but then critics would obviously also say that trump has initially caused this problem here by pulling out of the nuclear deal and that now 3 it is coming in stark contrast to call for money for a problem that he might have cost himself all right of course by the over zealous of the story fortune washington tonight all over thank you. well these are the images that when alex on television in georgia of the entire world last week after a russian lawmaker addressed the georgian parliament from the speaker's chair

speaking in russian his presence and his actions striking a national nerve in georgia and the reaction when you see heard in the clashes including police 10 officers have been suspended we understand on suspicion of using excessive force. or the violence has reflation by the reason and felt by many georgians over the former soviet republics close ties to moscow even the russia invaded georgia back in 2008 and still supports 2 breakaway regions today after days of mass protests the leader of georgia's ruling party announced sweeping political reforms including changes to the electoral system one of the key demands of anti russian demonstrators despite that concession protesters say that they'll stay on the streets until all demands are met they're calling for snap elections and the resignation of georgia's interior minister who they blame for last week's violent. dispersal. what

a week that was all the talk about that i'm joined now here at the big table by chorley talk of she i've got your name right he is the director of the georgia institute of politics in tbilisi and in your he's one of georgia's most respected foreign policy commentators it's good to have you on the show. were you surprised when these crowds of people tried to storm parliament last week. it was kind of unexpected at the beginning but if you look i mean generally i think that there was some expectation that this kind of discontent which was growing in georgians the society internally related to internal politics as well is that the politics that it would come up at one day but nobody really expected that it would happen exactly this time you don't think anyone in parliament i mean the ruling party the leaders in parliament they didn't know that allowing this russian lawmaker to come and

speak in russian parliament they didn't know that that would trigger some type of response i think it was not really a prudent decision from the government i think they kind of miscalculated that what kind of consequence it's may have and of course they didn't expected that you know this could trigger such as you know kind of outburst in the georgian society but i think this was a major miscalculation from ruling party is it was a miscalculation the kremlin is saying that georgia is in the grip of ross of phobic hysteria. is that what we saw last week i think i would not completely agree with this because there's a 2 reason actually one of the internal basically the ruling party become less popular and as you know the general election and expected it doesn't 20 so there was one of the reason that society actually won some changes but really in terms of the you know lecture law and then there was the of course externalism so people in

jordan society actually we're not really completely happy with this and policies of the ruling party towards russia basically accommodating to russian kind of interests and i think that some part of the georgian society they they said ok we want to have a good relations with russia trade humanitarian contacts but we don't want that russian political influence or religious if less in this country and this is with kind of a trade line where people decided that now this time to show. to tell this to the government and is that happening in georgia is moscow constantly trying to you know push the envelope to see how far it can go with its influence in georgia i think that's a major issue because they not only georgia but they if you look at the russian policy in the neighborhood and using soft power his words have power against all the neighbors and basically one of the idea with georgia was that russia was trying to weaken this wouldn't he of the neighbors including georgia and also don't forget

that we had a war with russia so people didn't forget this and also the recognition by most of the city that the steel huge trauma for the for georgian people you know you say that you had a recent war with russia and so on the outside looking at georgia didn't it it's amazing that you would allow a russian lawmaker to come into your parliament and speak and to speak russian. looking at from the outside it seems it seems outrageous that that would even be considered i mean tell me what. does that speak to the fact that the ruling party may be in the pocket of the kremlin i think this is some you know they've been different opinion about that because they're only party actually hundreds of social social conservative you know kind of constituents of georgia who are very pro-life i would say off the books and so this is a they also have

a waters actually who would for this kind of show to put in so they had to and they actually i'm not saying maybe very poor russian but they are russian neutral at least and that's was one of the reason actually they felt that you know to bring this kind of you know like assembly of the sort to those countries that would somehow you know like improve maybe relations with russia but they miscalculated that i think that was too much when. georgian people actually see saw the russian in pete basically speaking in russian and sitting in it in their chair of the georgian speak of element and actually he's not supposed to be there actually according to the agent and that was the major to get them right i mean it was it was against protocol as well that i mean a fancy meeting story and we appreciate you coming in tonight and explaining it to has conquered she a director of the georgian institute of politics in tbilisi thank you very much thank you for the day is almost done but as always the conversation continues
